Never Give Up on Your Dreams
Never Give Up On Your Dreams
I really wasn’t into sports when I was younger. I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I started liking sports probably in middle school. I start watching it because my dad and brother were always watching it on the TV. In the NFL I liked the Miami Dolphins; I am a big fan of them. I plan to go watch one of their games when I get out of school. My favorite NBA team is the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets is my team but I also like the Miami Heat. I want the Miami Heat to win the Championship because people aren’t giving Labron James the respect that he needs. I’m glad that the Miami Heat won the championship because Labron needed a ring to prove that he is the best at it now. Out of all these sports and stuff one person inspired me to play sports and to never give up on your dream. I want to meet this person because I want to just ask him about his career and how he succeeded and became the world’s best basketball player that ever lived. I wanted to talk about this person because he is the best person at the sport I like and that’s basketball. He inspired many people to never give up at the sport you play keep pushing yourself to become the world’s greatest. The person I want to meet is Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan never gave up on his dream so that’s why I’m not going to give up on my dream. The one thing that really inspired me to never give on my dream is Game 5 NBA Finals (1997), Bulls VS Jazz. Michael Jordan played that game with the flu, he never gave up. He played in the game like there wasn’t anything wrong with him. He went on and scored 38 points. He was so exhausted his team mates had to carry him to the locker. That there just tell you to never give up no matter what. Prove to people you are the best and be the next Michael

    Basketball is a sport that is dominated by incredible work ethics and the practice of basic techniques. Not ever has a player truly become a star overnight and success is granted to only those who strive for it. In the words of Michael Jordan himself I quote, “some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Now I have only one question left to ask. Do you want to be the best player you can be? If your answer is yes then I urge to beyond belief that if you learn, live, and love these skills, I see no reason why you can’t be a great…

    When I began my report I didn’t know much about Michael Jordan, but I did know that he was “undoubtedly the greatest player in the history of the NBA” (“Michael Air Jordan” 1). It seemed like every time I heard the word basketball I also heard the name Michael Jordan. There’s just no avoiding him. If you are watching television you might see him playing basketball or golf. If you were reading a magazine there will probably be an advertisement with his picture. If you were walking down the street you might see a kid wearing Air Jordan shoes or a Bulls jersey with “JORDAN” on the back of it. This man is probably as recognizable as the Pope.…

    Playing sports has always been something that I enjoy to do, so I decided to play a new sport. And that was volleyball. As a new volleyball player I didn’t know the complete sport of volleyball and how it was played, therefore I began to do research on different successful volleyball players. That is when I came across Destinee Hooker and when I did it made me more desirable about the game and about how to make myself a better person. I instantly started to watch YouTube videos of her from when she was in college at Texas A&M and when she became a professional volleyball player overseas and for our own country. As I began to watch her, I started to follow her throughout the volleyball season. Furthermore I learned the basic steps to volleyball by watching her compete in the games she played. In more detail she was also participated in the London Olympic games for two thousand and twelve which really influenced me as an athlete. Even though the US team did not bring back gold for our country, Destinee as a player brought gold to my heart because she gave it her all in every…

    In practice, he always gave me advice on the best way to cut to the basket, how to dribble the ball with your left. He is truly a very humble and positive person. My second reason would be for my favorite player Los Angeles Laker guard Kobe Bryant. He plays with so much emotion and his work ethic is on some other worldly level, I looked up to him; hitting those clutch shots to win the game and give his team the best opportunity to win games and of course five titles which proves he is one of the greatest to play the game. I remember when my dad had surgery, we watch the NBA playoffs and saw the Lakers down by 10 and bang, Kobe with the pass, shot, dunk and just screams of excitement. I…

    On the 20th of October, 1998, the world was blessed with a talented basketball player. (That would be me.) Growing up, I didn’t really have reasons to like basketball. My family did not play or have interest in any kind of sport, besides for my father turning on the Lakers game once in a while. So my influence had to come about from a mishap. A mishap I am very thankful for. The television was playing the Lakers game in my living room one night when my attention was caught by an astonishing performance by a player wearing the number 8. Shot after shot he would score with emphasis, scowling after each basket. This player was arguably one of the greatest professional basketball players still to this day, Kobe Bryant. It was at this moment that…

    Athletes such as Michael Jordan play such an immense role in children’s lives. Many see Jordan as the best basketball player to ever play the game. Children who inspire to have dreams of making it professional and want to be the best look up to Jordan. Jordan is shown all over the world through popular culture. Whether it is his numerous sponsorships, or athletic greatness, he is all over the place. Children see this iconic man and want to “be like Mike,” and they will not only try to play like him, but also be like him in whatever ways they can. Athletes such as Michael Jordan help motivate kids to go play basketball and be active. By being active, it not only is healthy for children, but also it steers them away from other troublesome paths in life. Jordan is praised when Kellner says “On one hand, as noted, he is a privileged role model for Black youth, he reportedly helps mentor young athletes, and he is a symbol of the African American who has transcended race and who is integrated in American society, representing the dream of assimilation, wealth, and success,” (Kellner p.149). Things that have meanings that are far…

    As I grow, the problems and challenges of life grow with me; playing basketball is no longer about just beating my brother. I turn to my love when I feel unsure; basketball is where I find that calm, comfortable place to think and garner strength to face new challenges. Am I capable to succeed at a high level in academia? Swish. What do I want to do with my life? Swish. Who am I? Swish. That sound was all I needed to hear to give me the solace I needed. In watching professional players, I learn the science and poetry of the game. Basketball has taught me lessons beyond those my parents taught me. When faced with adversity, she taught me how to overcome. She set me up in the form of close games where I could coordinate with my teammates and navigate gracefully through my problems. She taught me how to balance my life outside of my time with her; where I could continue my academics but still be able to make time with her. Whenever I was upset about school or got in an argument with my parents, we always had an unspoken way of talking to each other. She provides me with an outlet and a means to clearer thinking. For this, I owe…
